A vehicle, or control system thereof includes a winch and control circuitry. The winch includes a winch motor and is configured to extend and retract a cable. The control circuitry is coupled to the winch and a battery system. The control circuitry is configured to control operation of the vehicle, receive an indication to initiate a winch control mode, determine status information for the vehicle, and activate one or more selectors of an input interface for receiving input to control the winch based on the status information. The selectors can include buttons of a keyfob associated with the vehicle. The status information can include a gear selection of the vehicle, a security status of the vehicle, a capacity status of the battery system, authorization information, or other information. The control circuitry, while controlling the winch, receives commands for controlling the winch and monitors the status information.

Described herein are methods and systems to dampen oscillations of a payload coupled to a tether of a winch system arranged on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). For example, the UAV's control system may dampen the oscillations by causing the UAV to switch to a forward flight mode in which movement of the UAV results in drag on the payload, thereby damping the oscillations. In another example, the control system may cause the UAV to reduce an extent flight stabilization along at least one dimension, thereby resulting in damping of the detected oscillations due to energy dissipation during movement of the UAV along the dimension. In this way, the control system could select and carry out one or more such techniques, and could do so during retraction and/or deployment of the tether.

A crawl space winch system including a base plate; a winch box carried by said base plate; a winch mechanism disposed in said winch box and having a cable extending out of an opening in a front side of said winch box for attaching to an item; a winch drive shaft extending through a sidewall of said winch box and being operatively associated with said winch mechanism for retracting said cable; and, a primary anchor opening disposed in a generally central portion of said base plate for receiving a portion of a primary anchor to secure said base plate to the ground, and wherein said primary anchor provides a pivot point around which said base plate rotates.

The present disclosure discloses a vehicle, a winch for the vehicle, and a warning control device for the winch of the vehicle. The warning control device includes: a warning component; and a warning control board, including: a load detector, connected to the motor through a current sensor, and configured to detect load condition of the motor by collecting measured working current of the motor; a processor, connected to the load detector and the warning controller respectively, and configured to output a warning control signal to the warning controller according to the load condition of the motor; and a warning controller, connected to the warning component and the processor respectively, and configured to receive the warning control signal and to control the warning component to produce a warning based on the warning control signal.

Described herein are methods and systems for picking up, transporting, and lowering a payload coupled to a tether of a winch system arranged on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). For example, the winch system may include a motor for winding and unwinding the tether from a spool, and the UAV's control system may operate the motor to lower the tether toward the ground so a payload may be attached to the tether. The control system may monitor an electric current supplied to the motor to determine whether the payload has been attached to the tether. In another example, when lowering a payload, the control system may monitor the motor current to determine that the payload has reached the ground and responsively operate the motor to detach the payload from the tether. The control system may then monitor the motor current to determine whether the payload has detached from the tether.

A winch is disclosed having a drive cylinder, configured to be rotated by an applied force about its longitudinal axis and having at least three drive grooves. The winch also includes an idler with a longitudinal axis spaced apart from the longitudinal axis of the drive cylinder. A line is fed onto the winch by passing it over a first of the at least three drive grooves then around the idler and then around a second of the at least three drive grooves. The line is attached to one of a fixed object or the object to be moved. The winch is attached to the other of the fixed object or the object to be moved. As the applied force is applied to the drive cylinder, the line is gripped by the at least three drive grooves and a length of the line between the fixed object and the object to be moved is shortened, whereby the object is moved.

It is described herein an apparatus for removing and installing a battery for an electrically driven vehicle, and a related method for removing and installing a battery into an electrically driven vehicle. The apparatus may comprise a guide system, a battery containment structure, and a linear motion device. The guide system may comprise a first track and a second track. The battery containment structure may comprise a first plurality of bearings and a second plurality of bearings, and may be configured to receive and hold the battery. When the battery containment structure is acted upon by a linear force applied by the linear motion device to lower and raise the battery containment structure, the first plurality of bearings moves linearly along the first track while the second plurality of bearings moves linearly along the second track,

A cable winch (100) for deploying and retracting a cable (50) during the installation of powerline cables on transmission towers. The cable winch (100) includes a base frame (102), a spool (110), a drive system (120), a sensor system (200), and a control system (300). The spool (110) is mounted for rotation on the base frame (102) and the cable (50) is releasably securable to the spool (110). The drive system (120) is able to drive rotation of the spool (110) to either pay out or wind in the cable (50) along a cable path. The cable path passes through the sensor system (200), which has a first sensor (244) able to detect and output tension data in relation to the tension in the cable (50) passing through the sensor system (200). The control system (300) is adapted to receive the tension data output by the sensor system (200) and modulate the speed and torque of the drive system (120) in order to maintain a predetermined tension in the cable (50).
